“To a very great extent the term "science" is reserved for fields that do progress in obvious ways. Nowhere does this show more clearly than in the recurrent debates about whether one or another of the contemporary social sciences is a real science. These debates have parallels in the pre-paradigm periods of fields that are today unhesitatingly labeled science.”

“These were the lovely bones that has grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.”

“A measurement, in this context, is an irreversible act in which uncertainty collapses to certainty. It is the link between the quantum and classical worlds, the point where what might happen - multiple paths, interference patterns, spreading clouds of probability - is replaced by what does happen: some event in the classical world, whether the click of a counter, the activation of an optic nerve in someone's eye, or just the coalescence of a glob of matter triggered by a quantum event.”

“What is the phrase for the moon? And the phrase for love? By what name are we to call death? I do not know. I need a language such as lovers use, words of one syllable such as children speak when they come into the room and find their mother sewing and pick up some scrap of bright wool, a feather, or a shred of chintz. I need a howl; a cry. When the storm crosses the marsh and sweeps over me where I lie in the ditch unregarded I need no words. Nothing neat. Nothing that comes down worth all its feet on the floor. None of those resonances and lovely echoes that break and chime from nerve to nerve in our breasts, making wild music, false phrases. I have done with phrases.”
